Is it your goal to stage your 5-bedroom property like 9011 Cherrytree Dr in Alexandria? What steps can you take now if your home isn't the latest trend?
A minimalist theme is often best for selling a home, because home buyers fill that empty space with their imaginations.
Does decluttering seem a little overwhelming? That's probably because you need a system. I suggest you try the “category method”. Go into each room with these four categories: trash, give away, keep, or relocate. Each and every item should go into one of these categories. You'll thank yourself on moving day and on the day we ratify your contract to sell.
The space in your closet above your clothes rack is usually wasted. You can put this space to work with easy-to-install pull-down rods. Install the rod anywhere near the ceiling and substantially increase the usable room in your closet.
Have you thought about how the right window treatments can improve your house's overall appeal?
Of course, when we stage a home in Fairfax County, we always want to maximize the natural light in every room. If a particular room has a truly awful view that you are trying to hide, it still may be advisable to open your blinds and curtains to let more natural light into a living space.
You're considering selling in Fairfax County. Is it time to paint?
Sometimes, painting means just the front door. Your front door really is your home's first impression. For whatever reason, gray and navy front doors seem to fetch more money!
It's usually a good idea to reduce contrasting colors wherever possible.
If you're going to sell your property, you'll going to want to make it easy for a buyer to imagine a future in the home.
In addition to removing your clutter, it's almost always a good idea to depersonalize.
When someone looks at your house, they're trying to decide if this will be their home.
Consider these ideas:
- Dried flowers and candles in complementary colors are an inexpensive way to add interest in a nondescript bathroom.
- Whenever possible raise the bar of your shower curtain or window treatments to make a space seem more airy.
- Candles can be a nice touch, but avoid anything that is so strong it become incense.
- Want to add a bed to a vacant bedroom? Arrange moving boxes into the shape of a bed. Then place a duvet cover over the boxes!
